Thanks for the insightful input, doh123. Havent tried your one-line solution yet, but assuming it is working it is a very elegant solution. I just learnt something new!
Regarding the approach I posted: Yes, the terminal will appear this way. This code shows all the possible modifications:
tell application "Terminal"
activate -- If a terminal window is desired; if not, delete this line
do script "cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TmNationsForever"
delay 0.5 -- Improves Reliability
do script "wine TmForeverLauncher.exe" in window 1
end tell
Now, with your one-line solution, I guess the solution here is redundant. I just posted it to complete the discussion :)
cheers!
